Solution
Olfactory lobe:
The olfactory lobe is a structure in the vertebrate forebrain that is involved in olfaction. Ipsilateral anosmia is caused by damage to the olfactory bulb.
The joy of eating and drinking may be lost, and sadness may arise from an impaired sense of olfaction.
There are also risks involved with losing one's sense of smell, such as being unable to detect leaking gas or contaminated food.
